I’ve been seeing this sidewalk spray-paint stencil graffito appearing with increasingly regularity in various parts of my (and perhaps your) fair city. It seems that as the economic news/reality gets worse, I encounter more of these public statements of discontent.
I know that things are bad everywhere, but it seems that San Francisco in particular is particularly volatile whenever the economy swings too far to either of the boom/bust extremes. The rumblings of class war back in the go-go 90’s was an example of how things get when it swings the other way.
And if you’re not familiar with the lingo, Sanctuary City is a term for a city (like SF) that by way of policy does not aid enforcement of Federal immigration laws. A somewhat controversial status. I think that this is an interesting re-purposing of the term.
We’ll see how things go with this. I really hope that this is not a return of that rage from a decade ago.
